Abstract

Stored whole cinnamon can become contaminated with aflatoxins.For public health requirements cinnamon
should be produced free of AFB1or bellow EU legislation limit (5µg/kg), soin this study, examined the
efficacy of different concentrations (0, 300 and 600 ppm) of ozone on fungal populations (CFU) and AFB1
production of A.flavus on stored whole cinnamon at three aw levels (0.92, 0.94&0.96 aw) at 25?C and exposure
time (60 min). In general, the results presented in this study showed that the populations AFB1 produced of
A.flavusin artificially contaminated whole cinnamon were significantly affected by O3treatment.
